Panda Bear – Alsatian Darn

"Alsatian Darn" as written by and Noah Benjamin Lennox....
Eel that you have ever, I could not
Actually hide and I said that it was true, look up
Where I, run

Would I, will I
Let it slide,
Let it slip by,
No I won't let it slide,
No I won't let it slip by
Under

What you doing
What to do
What to do
Not to do what you want to do?
I can't miss you

Say what it is I want to say,
Say what it is I want to say to you
Can I make that mistake.

    General CommentWhen Noah sings "Say can I make a bad mistake" that's my favourite part of the whole song. I can't even describe how I feel when I listen to it.

    General CommentMissing a lot of lyrics. No idea how these get approved. I mean you completely missed the first part of the song.

    General Commentthis song seems more like it's about doing work to support his family and how hard it is being away from them

    General CommentI'm pretty sure that line is:

    Say, can I make a bad mistake?
    Say what it is I want to set straight
    Say what?

    General CommentThis song is just so beautiful it moves me to tears. The riffs near the middle and closing are so powerful and say so much without any lyrics; so much strength lies beneath the surface of this song. I already know that Tomboy is going to be by new favorite album, replacing Merriweather Post Pavilion.

    General CommentIn the last section of the song I could be wrong but I swear he's saying

    Say, can I make up that mistake;
    Say what it is I want to say to you;
    say what;

    I think this song is about being misrepresented/wanting to set the record straight... maybe having something to do with everyone calling him the king of chill wave and him not wanting anything to do with it. Just a feeling...
    Favorite song on the album.

    General CommentThis song is so beautiful. I agree with cplus's comment, this song reminds me of the theme in My Girls.

    General CommentThis song is brilliant. The way the vocals are layered so much that it forms itself into the song as if it were its own instrument entirely, the eerie chord changes, the melodies, the anthemic chant of "got to do what you got to do"... This is such a beautiful, amazing song. It is 3 years later and I still can't stop listening to it.
